Energetic, with this hint of a fiery mentality meets country-pop in Karra Rhodes’ mystifying release, Why Can’t I Love You Less.
A crossover between Shania and Taylor, Karra takes matters into her own hands, pushing up a storm in the country scene; empowering her fellow female friends to embrace their feelings of how difficult it can be to let someone you love go for good.
Pop-country love is a rarity in New Zealand music, however, Karra showcases how impactful these moments can be with brilliantly gripping guitar hooks and fluttering vocals that will have you dazzled from the beginning.
Karra delights her audience with her consistent passion through Why Can’t I Love You Less and admittedly, this track in particular makes me want to burst into song each time it comes up on shuffle.
One of the most relatable lines from Why Can’t I Love You Less is definitely “Sunday mornings don’t feel the way they should, I’m not telling jokes to all my friends” which is punchy and tells a story within itself.
Karra is candid with her approach in terms of her music, which is an enlightening aspect to any singer-songwriters career, and I find this is a highly admirable trait that makes Why Can’t I Love You Less a desirable piece of art that you can be enveloped in time and time again.
